Typhoon - Introdans - Canto Ostinato

Typhoon by choreographer Krisztina de Châtel - queen of minimalist dance.
In a windless prologue accompanied by the rippling piano sounds of Simeon ten Holt’s Canto Ostinato, the dancers prepare themselves for what is to come. They hang off balance as if leaning against the wind. Their arms cleave the air. They are ready for battle. Then the growing noise of wind machines drowns out the soft piano sounds. The dancers fill their lungs and proudly fight this (invisible) matter that they make tangible while dancing. The monumental dance performance Typhoon (1986) by choreographer Krisztina de Châtel will be revived in the spring of 2025 and danced by the dancers of Introdans. The choreographic urge for order of De Châtel is tested in this performance, as it were, in a flying storm.

Meandres

Meandres performed by the Natalon quartet. Meandres is Ten Holt’s last major composition. He compared the composition to a four-track tape with which he had worked extensively in the seventies. Each pianist takes on one track in principle, but may also switch tracks if desired. There is a repeat structure as we know it from Canto Ostinato, but the parts are more clearly divided into four layers.
